Eastern Mennonite School (EMS) formerly known as Eastern Mennonite High School is a private school in Harrisonburg, Virginia which is affiliated with the Mennonite Church.
Eastern Mennonite School began in 1917 as a high school and Bible school, adding college classes as the institution grew. In 1968 it separated from what was then Eastern Mennonite College, now Eastern Mennonite University (EMU), and built a new building on Parkwood Drive directly below EMU. In 1968, EMS expanded schooling to grades 7-12 and was renamed Eastern Mennonite High School. In 1997 the school expanded its athletic fields, adding improved soccer and baseball fields. In 2004 the school added new class space including a new art room, science rooms, and a new auditorium. 1995 was the first year for sixth grade at EMS, and by 2005 the school created Eastern Mennonite Elementary School now located in Lindale Mennonite Church in nearby Linville, Virginia, and renamed the overall entity Eastern Mennonite School.
